Jackie Hyde

Managing Director

Greatest achievement at work?

My greatest achievement is setting up the dot2dot scheme and I’m so proud of what part it plays within Stanmore’s business. The scheme has enabled me to meet some fantastic nursery owners and a number are now friends. In addition, we have learnt so much about the industry along our journey and there is certainly never a dull moment with what we are continuing to learn.

I am also delighted to have been named one of the twenty women to watch in the EMEA region by Business Insurance Magazine.

Your favourite bit of your job?

Meeting lots of different people. It is great to share successes, challenges, experiences and laughs. In addition, I love the challenges of the job with every day being different. You often need to get under the skin of a problem and find the answers, which can give a real buzz.

What do you enjoy about working at a local community broker in Little Lever?

It is lovely to be part of the Bolton community whether that is working with clients or suppliers or the wider needs of the town, such as being a patron of Bolton Girls and Lads Club. There is a lovely community spirit within the Bolton business network.
